Trump’s #Obamagate tweets promise the beginning of the end for Obama

While the media continue to be obsessed by the New York virus, which they believe is the cudgel they need to destroy Trump’s reelection chances, Trump is signaling the end of the three-year drama that was the Russia Hoax, from its first appearance in January 2017, all the way through a frustrated Robert Mueller’s inability to find a smidgen of evidence showing that Trump or anyone else on his team had colluded with Russia to win the election.

All the while, Trump’s supporters, and those who are not Trump’s supporters but who still believe in the rule of law, having been waiting for the other shoe to drop. The other shoe, of course, is to expose those who tried to steal an election and then wage a coup against a duly elected president. It would be even better to have those people arrested (preferably at 3 a.m., by a huge FBI team, with cameras rolling), tried, and imprisoned, but that may be a hope too great.

On Saturday, it appears that Trump dropped that other shoe for that’s when he retweeted Jesse Watters’ comprehensive breakdown of the Obama team’s wrongdoing, in reliance upon a slew of newly released documents from the House Intelligence Committee:

On Sunday, Trump went on a Twitter binge revolving around one very important word: OBAMAGATE. Indeed, he sent out a post containing only that neologism:

Trump then retweeted others who used that neologism.

Trump tweeted out a significant phrase in connection with Obamagate: “He [Obama] got caught.” For Trump to make that assertive a statement almost certainly means that this week will reveal evidence showing Obama’s fingerprints all over the Deep State’s conspiracy:

In several more tweets, Trump doubled down on the idea that a president was involved in a serious crime:

In one of his many Obamagate tweets, Trump had an answer to the question in Mollie Hemingway’s article entitled, “Why Did Obama tell The FBI To Hide Its Activities From Trump?” 

I hope you caught the way Trump implicated Biden there.

Trump next tweeted out Sean Hannity’s and Tucker Carlson’s #Obamagate episodes, both of which are replete with damning videos:

Thanks to Trump’s focus on the word “Obamagate,” at one point on Monday the hashtag #Obamagate was trending with 2.4 million retweets:

Also on Monday, news broke that Richard Grenell, the interim Director of National Intelligence Richard and one of the most pivotal people in the search for truth, was able to have declassified a list of Obama officials who were part of illegally unmasking General Flynn. Between this news and Trump’s “Obamagate” tweets, if you don’t have popcorn, you might want to buy some. The upcoming political show is about to get very exciting.

Rand Paul: Dr. Fauci Not ‘End All’ Authority on Coronavirus Response

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said during a hearing on Tuesday that Dr. Anthony Fauci is not the “end all” authority on the coronavirus response.

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified before a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing on putting America back to work and putting children back to school in the fall. He has served as one of the key White House Coronavirus Task Force members.

Fauci said in a statement to the New York Times on Tuesday that if the country reopens too soon during the coronavirus outbreak, it will bring “needless suffering and death.”

Paul, an ophthalmologist who recently recovered from the coronavirus, countered Fauci’s argument that America should be cautious about reopening the country. The Kentucky conservative said, “We never really reached any sort of pandemic levels in Kentucky and other states. We have fewer deaths in Kentucky than an average flu season.”

Paul argued that state governments and localities should decide when to reopen compared to a national reopening strategy, contending that many models have overstated the number of coronavirus deaths that would come from the pandemic.

“I think that … we’re going to have a national one-size-fits-all approach — nobody’s going to go to school, is kind of ridiculous. We really ought to be doing it school district by school district, and the power needs to be dispersed because people make wrong predictions,” Paul said.

Paul then said that Fauci is not the “end all” source for the coronavirus outbreak and that many authorities have shown that many parts of the country are ready to reopen.

He explained:

We ought to have a little bit of humility in our belief that we know what’s best for the economy. And, as much as I respect you, Dr. Fauci, I don’t think you’re the end-all. I don’t think you’re the one person that gets to make the decision. We can listen to your advice, but there are people on the other sides saying that there’s not going to be a surge, and we can safely open the economy and the facts will bear this out. 

Fauci responded, saying, “I never made myself out to be the end-all and only voice in this, I’m a scientist, a physician, and a public health official.”

IT’S ON… Trump UNLOADS on Obama: “Obamagate Makes Watergate Look Small Time” and “Most Corrupt Administration in US History” #Obamagate

Last week the DOJ dropped its case against General Michael Flynn after new evidence revealed the DOJ and Mueller team were withholding Brady evidence in the case.

And on Thursday the DNI and House Intelligence Committee finally released the transcripts of 53 interviews during the Mueller investigation that revealed NOT ONE SINGLE Obama official had evidence or saw evidence that Trump colluded with Russia in any way.

Acting DNI Ric Grenell delivered a second set of documents to the DOJ in a satchel on Thursday that contain even more damning evidence on the Obama deep state corruption.

Deep State target and former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos announced over the weekend that what comes next “is going to rock the world.

On Monday President Trump went after his predecessor — Barack Obama — for his historic corruption!

President Trump tweeted: “OBAMAGATE makes Watergate look small time!”

And then President Trump unloaded on the former president. “The most corrupt administration in US history.”

And it’s only Monday morning!
This week is going to be lit!

Carnival Cruise Lines Flooded with Bookings for Return to Service in August

Carnival Cruise Lines was inundated with bookings after announcing it would return to the high seas starting in August, following in the wake of months of being on Chinese coronavirus lockdown.

Cruise Planners, a company that books cruises for the world’s largest cruise liner, said bookings shot up by 600 percent when Carnival announced that it would begin again on August 1,

The spike is a 200 percent increase over last year.

Cruise Planners told TMZ those cruise-bookers were “not a bit concerned about traveling at this time” because many said they were in good health and were looking forward to some fun after being in quarantine for several months.

Carnival and its competitor, Viking, suspended their operations back in March to slow the spread of coronavirus, as ships quickly became hotspots for the virus to breed.

The State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) then issued warnings to Americans not to travel by cruise ship during the coronavirus outbreak.

Carnival released a statement saying that although they are optimistic they will return to ports by August 1, the cruise line offered no guarantees.

“We are taking a measured approach, focusing on the potential for sailing from a select number of homeports where we have more significant operations that are easily accessible by car for the majority of our guests,” Carnival Cruise Line said in a press statement last week.

“We continue to work with various government agencies, including the CDC, as we introduce new onboard protocols, but there is no assurance of a return on August 1,” the statement continued.

Watch ‘The View’ Hosts Completely Melt Down Over WH Press Sec’s Viral Mic Drop on Media

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is already living in the heads of the panelists on ABC’s “The View.”

In case you missed it, the recently installed McEnany had an epic news conference Wednesday in which she mic-dropped on pretty much everyone in the legacy media.

The impetus for said mic drop was a question about a remark she’d made regarding the White House’s policy on the coronavirus pandemic and how President Donald Trump would “not allow the coronavirus to come to this country.”

Asked whether she’d like to take that back, she instead made reporters take a hard look in the mirror.

“I guess I would turn the question back on the media and ask similar questions,” McEnany said.

TRENDING: Media Lies at Work: As NY Deaths Go Up, So Do Cuomo’s Polls – As FL Deaths Go Down, So Do DeSantis’ Polls

“Does Vox want to take back that they proclaimed that the coronavirus would not be ‘a deadly pandemic’? Does The Washington Post want to take back that they told Americans to ‘get a grippe, the flu is bigger than the coronavirus’?

“Does The Washington Post, likewise, want to take back that ‘our brains are causing us to exaggerate the threat of the coronavirus’? Does The New York Times want to take back that the ‘fear of the virus may be spreading faster than the virus itself’? Does NPR want to take back that ‘the flu was a much bigger threat than the coronavirus’? And finally, once again The Washington Post, would they like to take back that ’the government should not respond aggressively to the coronavirus’?

“I’ll leave you with those questions, and maybe you’ll have some answers in a few days,” McEnany said — and then exited on that note, much to the chagrin of reporters.

Should Kayleigh McEnany have taken on the media this way?

It was a viral moment that made the cast of “The View” very upset.

Co-host Sunny Hostin, for example, was distressed over McEnany’s promise not to lie to the American people — claiming she broke it when she said America could reopen without universal testing for the coronavirus even as people in the White House were tested.

“That tells me she’s just spinning lies to the American people rather than being honest with the American people, and she never answered that question, by the way, that was posed to her,” Hostin said. “She never answered the question. So she is just lying to the American people like everyone else.”

Joy Behar, bizarrely, decided to focus on McEnany’s makeup.

RELATED: ‘View’ Host Behar Compares Protesters Wanting To Get Back to Work to Terrorists

“She never really answered that question,” Behar said. “She just walked off sort of embarrassed, I think. So let’s start there.

“Also, the thing about testing. I’m having so much trouble understanding where they’re coming from. Is she willing to send her kids to camp, for example, without everyone being tested at the camp, including the counselors, the children? Is she willing to send her children to school before they test everybody?

“She keeps saying you have to be tested every hour. Well, excuse me, Miss McEnany, you are wearing professionally applied makeup. So, darling, were you willing to have someone apply it without being tested? That’s another question I have for Miss McEnany.”

If it meant millions of people weren’t unemployed, yeah, she’d probably go without the makeup being tested a few times. Next question, I guess?

If this is the kind of meltdown that we’re going to see from the media, I’d dare say Trump’s pretty happy with his pick. You can safely take most of what’s said on “The View,” go in the opposite direction and sleep well at night, safe in the knowledge you’ve made a sound policy decision.

By the way, if you look back at the segment, she did answer the question, briefly saying that she had “noted the intent behind the [travel] restrictions, which is that we will not see the coronavirus come here.”

I’m assuming they didn’t watch that part, though, or forgot it because they were enraged.

That’s the great part about “The View.” It’s become a real-time meter of how conservatives live in the heads of the left.

And make no mistake — that’s what this is.

Good work, Kayleigh. We look forward to many more questions about whether you’d have your makeup tested.

As U.S. Slides Into Depression, Consumers Have Never Been More Bullish On Stocks

As U.S. Slides Into Depression, Consumers Have Never Been More Bullish On Stocks

Not even in Khruschev’s wildest dreams did central planners ever conceive of anything so absolutely batshit insane as what is taking place in the centrally-planned US economy and "markets" right now.

With the US economy sliding into a depression with the BLS reporting – when one reads between the lines as Standard Chartered did over the weekend – that there were 42 million unemployed workers in April, pushing the unemployment rate to an unheard of 25.5%, far above the reported 14.7% (forget any hope for a V-shaped recovery as millions of those recently laid off will never get back to full-time work )…

… it is not a surprise that according to the latest New York Fed survey of consumer expectations, virtually every metric having to do with one’s financial well being – income, wealth, debt sustainability and earnings expectations – is cratering with expected earnings, income, and spending growth each hit survey lows which is what one would expect in a depression.

For example the expected probability of losing one’s job jumped to an all-time high of 20.9% from 18.5% in April; the probability of missing a minimum debt payment over the next three months surged to 16.2% – a 7 year high – from 15.1%, while expected earnings growth tumbled to the lowest on record at 1.87%, down from 2.05% in April .

Adding to the apocalyptic picture, median one-year ahead expected changes in home prices dropped to 0% for first time in survey history – as the average US consumer no longer expects their primary asset to increase in value – with 44.2% of respondents expecting home prices to decline over the coming year.

Finally, confirming that an inflation wave is coming, over the next year consumers expect gasoline prices to rise 4.9%; food prices to rise 5.43%; medical costs to rise 9.25%; the price of a college education to rise 4.64%; rent prices to rise 4.57%; needless to say all of these are far, far higher than the Fed’s "target" inflation rate of 2%.

But while the above data may not have been surprising, what was shocking is what the central bank reported was the average consumer expectation for stock prices in the future: according to the NY Fed, the mean probability that US stock prices will be higher one year from now surged to 51.8% up from 47.7%, above 50% for the first time ever and the highest print on record.

That this happens right after we posted that "Stocks Go Up As Everything Is Going Down In Flames", is just perfectly appropriate: Because with his job gone, his $400 dollars of emergency savings just spent on a roll of toilet paper, his bank preparing to foreclose on his home, all while a deadly virus lurks in dark corners, all Joe Sixpack can think of is how to get his "money on the sidelines" into the stock market as it is about to soar to all time highs.

And so, thanks to the Fed’s now grotesque interventions in all capital markets, including the purchase of over $2.6 trillion in securities in the past two weeks, the stock market is now perceived by conventional wisdom as a depression hedge – a countercyclical indicator which surges the worse the economy gets, and since the economy is sliding into a depression it is only "logical" – we use the term loosely – that expectations of higher stock prices have never been higher.

That of course is the absurdist interpretation of the above "data’. There was, naturally, a serious way of looking at this delightfully ridiculous data and lacking a sense of humor, David Rosenberg applied just that, tweeting last month when this series again hit an all time high that "I was so close to turning more bullish (less bearish?) until I see this metric was released by the New York Fed on consumer expectations.  Since when do bear markets end on record optimism?"

Well, David, you should have turned bullish because since April 6 – when you tweeted this and when consumer expectations for higher stock prices hit a record high for the first time  – stocks are up 18%!

Of course, since everything is now batshit insane thanks to the Fed, this was precisely what we warned would happen one month ago, to wit:

Oh David, "since when" do you still think that anything you observe in this economy or market, both stuffed to the gills with trillions and trillions in freshly printed fiatscoes, matters or makes sense. And to answer your question: bear markets end when the Fed says so, and proceeds to do to stocks what it did to IG bonds – and start buying directly.

Continuing our address to the bearish bond strategist, we also said "David, you may want to reasses your nothing can beat deflation thesis. Albert Edwards already has, and has said farewell to his "great ice age" thesis that defined his work for the past 30 years." Also read Paul Tudor Jones’ latest letter which laid it out best: "We are witnessing the Great Monetary Inflation (GMI)—an unprecedented expansion of every form of money unlike anything the developed world has ever seen."

We ended our rhetorical address to Rosenberg by asking "how long it will take you to realize that we now live in a time of helicopter money and that markets – by any definition  – no longer exist, and what comes next it a tsunami of debt and money much of which will finally make its way, kicking and screaming into the broader economy."

Ironically, what this career economist and widely-respected bond strategist still can’t grasp is by now all too clear to every Joe Sixpack on mainstreet, namely that the only thing that matters is this:

State Senator Warns Big Tech-Involved Testing Could Lurch Us Toward ‘1984’

Big tech is not on your side, even in the midst of the coronavirus panic.

This shouldn’t be a controversial statement. It also shouldn’t be a jumping-off point for wild conspiracy theories, but the message ought to be plain: Your privacy is meaningless to these companies. That hasn’t changed just because you’re wearing a mask in public.

Take the case of Verily Life Sciences, a company under the same corporate umbrella as Google.

Verily was, early in the process, touted as a unique tool to screen and schedule individuals who wanted to test for the coronavirus.

The company tested roughly 20 people on its first day and only about 30,000 by April 29, according to The Washington Post. That was out of 5.8 million tests that had been conducted in the country at that point. The rollout has been slow, and the website lists only a very limited number of states where tests are available.

TRENDING: Media Lies at Work: As NY Deaths Go Up, So Do Cuomo’s Polls – As FL Deaths Go Down, So Do DeSantis’ Polls

But we’re not here to talk about Verily’s incompetence. We’re here to talk about its potential malfeasance.

According to a report from Vice, the way Verily takes your data might not be in line with California’s strict privacy laws. It also might not be in line with any reasonable concept of privacy.

Verily relies on a questionnaire to determine whether you can be tested. But this also involves giving the company plenty of details, including your address, phone number and travel history.

On a separate part of their website, it also mentions it can collect web browsing data. Verily is linked to a Google account, too, meaning the company would have access to a lot more of your information.

“What is concerning is that the state of California is partnering with these private companies, I think probably out of desperation, but there is very, very sensitive information that’s at stake,” consumer privacy expert Mary Stone Ross, who helped legislators write California’s privacy law, told Vice.

“There’s no reason why they don’t put safeguards in place to make sure that it’s protected.”

It’s serious enough that even one Democratic state senator, Hannah-Beth Jackson, has compared it to “1984.”

In an April 28 letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom, Jackson noted that in addition to the partnership with Verily, he had “also discussed plans to partner with Apple and Google in order to use their tracing technology.

“Although these efforts are critical to getting us back up and running, they also raise serious privacy concerns that must be addressed. It is heartening to read that Apple and Google have committed to implement new encryption specifications and to disable the service when the pandemic is contained. However, more needs to be done to truly protect privacy,” Jackson wrote.

She called upon the governor to protect privacy in partnerships like the one with Verily, lest we experience dystopian side effects.

Jackson Letter by The Western Journal on Scribd

“My hope is that when assessing contracts, partnerships, and processes that due regard is given to transparency, disclosure, consent, and, ultimately, the protection of this sensitive information,” Jackson said.

“At the forefront of this effort must be the recognition that this information is NOT a commodity to be shared or sold to the highest bidder — or to any bidder, for that matter. We must not lurch toward the dystopian world of Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ or George Orwell’s ‘1984’ as the price of protecting our health and safety — nor do we have to.”

Meanwhile, Ross told Vice she was concerned that if big tech got involved in contact tracing — which it will almost certainly have to if it’s to work — it had already blown its credibility with the general public.

“The way for contact tracing to work properly is that people have to trust the system,” she said.

“Like, you want them to disclose a lot of information. And so if, if there’s no trust there, then I think it’ll be limited in its effectiveness.”

Do you think Google should be involved in contact tracing?

This is a rare issue where you can find Democrats and Republicans in concord. Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley, a noted big-tech hawk, sent an April 21 letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook in which he noted that the “possible implications this project could have for privacy are alarming.”

“For example, your materials state that the data necessary for this project will be anonymized. But anonymity in data is notoriously unstable. Data typically can be reidentified simply by cross-referencing it with another data set. Pairing the data from this project with the GPS data that both your companies already collect could readily reveal individual identities.”

Verily spokeswoman Carolyn Wang insisted the company was in compliance with the law, pointing to the privacy statement on its website.

“We disclose all of the categories of personal information collected in detail in the privacy policy,” Wang said. “We’re not collecting any data beyond that.”

It’s difficult to trust any company closely associated with Google, however.

This is a company that partnered with China to develop a highly censored search engine for the communist country under a program called “Project Dragonfly.”

Google not only tracks mass amounts of geolocation data, but it can also give it to the police under what’s known as a “geofence warrant.” Essentially, if you were near an area of interest to authorities, the warrant gives them access to data from whoever was in the area from WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular and GPS data.

Is this really a corporate culture that sounds like it treats data and individuals with respect?

This isn’t the company you want to deal with a public-facing problem, no matter how big it is or how deep its resources go.

State Sen. Jackson is right: This could quickly turn very dystopian.
